Framedragger: asciilifeform: did, with and without numlock. and the thing you're trying to catch in code (e.keyCode) is 0 in both cases. however, e.which is correct (and is more 'canonical' here anyway). but i'm on laptop currently; but that shouldn't make a difference

asciilifeform: ( last time i tried it, it worked on everything short of 'lynx' . )

Framedragger: ah, i remember the microwriter article. cool. hm yeah dun seem to work, on first attempt

asciilifeform: ( where i bet also keyz dun work any moar on 'modern' browser... )

asciilifeform: Framedragger: that was 1 of the 2 occasions where i wrote something in js

mircea_popescu: <andytoshi> how parallelizable is shor's algo? if i want to break 100 discrete logs is this much faster to do in batch than to do them separately?"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this was a lulz on ancient ed.

mircea_popescu: i never knew a simon could be so brave!

mircea_popescu: i have been well entertained.

phf: Framedragger: we're trying to say the same thing, but i don't think it's quite there yet

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-27#1648964 << ah shit i (in fact) just repeated phf, sorry lol ☝︎

asciilifeform: i have devices with 0 kernel. e.g. FUCKGOATS itself.

mircea_popescu: but yes, i agree there's a huge difference between "spit out string hunter2 half tyhe time" and entropy eh

mircea_popescu: basically this tribe thinks that what shannon entropy is, is when P takes value "hunter2" in 50% of the cases and a random in the remainder of cases and therefore this is "no good for crypto because i can guess what your password will be".

phf: afaiu shannon's entropy being a probability is descriptive, rather than prescriptive. so it can categorize a sequence of events, but it can't really say anything about how those sequence of events come about. so i'm not entirely sure how it even applies to engineering problem of event generation..

mircea_popescu: i live a sad life of rum and solitude.

phf: hehe, i'd be surprised if somebody even attempted to.

framedr: owait, 'isrg root' is mozilla's root lol. i thought, third party. it's a root they created

mircea_popescu: for some reason it dun work on my systems and i dun feel like debugging it for them

framedr: (i mean letsencrypt cert root)

mircea_popescu: i still think the item existed and was quoted in the dude's slides as a phuctor decoy and nothing more. this is not really something i can be talked out of through showing that a website wireframe existed ~same eyar.

mircea_popescu: i believe.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the paper existed in '13 certainly, i read it. but the actual data wasn't public, then or now.

mircea_popescu: i suppose that's one way to go about it.

Framedragger: i mean all i've got is http://web.archive.org/web/20130220094146/https://factorable.net/keycheck.html

mircea_popescu: i would like to see something. put you in my shoes and see what you'd like to see ?

mircea_popescu: Framedragger can i see the 2012 version of the verification service ?

mircea_popescu: anyway. this looks like an empty placeholder. i see nothing in there. can i verify any claim in any way ?

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: web archive says 2012, when i click its link it takes me to http://web.archive.org/web/20130310014945/https://factorable.net/ (note, 2013), but i think it's because there was no change between its first archived instance (23 oct 2012) and this 2013. anyway, no proof, sure

phf: i don't know anything about his netbsd work. i know him exclusively via scheme/lisp world

mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'll take your word for it. if i DIDN'T though, what steps could you take to enact this truth ?

Framedragger: okay, look, their paper was published in 2012. people referred to it as "that 2012 paper". now it's possible all them people are sybils, but i'll go ahead and say that factorable came before phuctor.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger i see 2015 archive.is

mircea_popescu: i have domains i registered pre 2000 i never bothered to use. i'd say link me, but...

mircea_popescu: maybe i'm getting old.

mircea_popescu: in other weird news, i've apparently gotten hella-good at handling wanna-be leahs, on the basis of nothing in particular. meditation, i guess, not like i've even interacted with the unfiltered refuse of angloshpere since the cat-v adventure.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger i doubt leah attracts anyone.

asciilifeform: Framedragger: re earlier thread : i looked far and wide to possibly buy rng to compare with -- and found nothing worth buying ( no, i won't compare with whitened; i won't pay 20,000 $+ for a box of schematicless ??? ; etc )

mircea_popescu: this "we don't have a log" hurr is becoming the #1 dunning-kruger symptom. they dun have one and dun know why they'd miss it, just like i wouldn't havce known in 2012.

asciilifeform: ( for all i know -- literally, issued. )

phf: i suspect that no vocal nonwot bought FUCKGOATS. it's either inwot, or else lurkers, that otherwise don't have any kind of presence. won't start participating with a review (even though that's probably a reason way to put self on radar)

asciilifeform: i'd naively imagine that if they hated, or loved, or some combination, they might write, somewhere.

asciilifeform: there were a number of folx whom i don't know, who bought. but none yet wrote in.

asciilifeform: mod6, mircea_popescu : i'm still waiting for one of the non-tmsr folx who bought, to publicly write something...

Framedragger: i mean, testing and comparing results of these rngs is probably useful (i'm outta time as of now), hm

mod6: doesn't probably do us all justice if I run some of these test collections on some shitty hardware i may or may not have.

asciilifeform: speaking of subj, i finally have a LYSO crystal here. but not yet a suitable uv detector.

mod6: the only other thing I could do, would be to just collect /dev/random until >~1Gb then run the same tests.

mircea_popescu: sure, but i dun think the website worx ?

asciilifeform: if i want whitening, i can dd if=/dev/urandom .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i ain't particularly interested in testing whitened 't'rng , also

mircea_popescu: can anyone actually buy this thing ? if i click on "buy for 40 bucks" nothing happens

mircea_popescu: why ask me, i dun know 'em.

asciilifeform: mod6: one of my chronic irritants re testing fg is that i have nothing whatsoever worth comparing against.

mod6: once all 5 are done, i'll pull together something more comprehensive for comparison; currently, i just have the raw output test data.

Framedragger: nice one mod6, entropy still at steady 8.0 bits per byte i see :D

phf: i think the name is very much reminiscent of phrack oldschoolery, presumably before "Captain_Beezay" was old enough to computers

asciilifeform: <Captain_Beezay> also,I'd never touch anything named that,regardless of quality. onerng is out there fyi << lel

mircea_popescu: apparently i was there before.

Framedragger: asciilifeform: when i said "might not even be worthless" i actually meant it in the sense that i observe chatter there and it's not all ~noise (but very small sample, and no time to read backlog there). then again, sure markov bots etc

Framedragger: hah i didn't know about that! nice one...

mircea_popescu: it'd have been high brow snark had the reference somehow worked ; but i couldn't unearth one that'd so work. "last us philosopher was this irish novelist"

phf: i thought that was some kind of high brow snark

mircea_popescu: i thought you were being insulting deliberately o.O

Framedragger: s/james joyce/william james/ ^ BingoBoingo i mixed up my english, too

trinque: "no, I just want to kill everyone I see"

Framedragger: yeah, mk :) i mean, you may as well be right lol.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger i had something narrower in mind, everyday social conversation.

Framedragger: re. american who said sth interesting, i volunteer david lewis (the philosopher)! inb4 BingoBoingo's "only american philosopher was james joyce" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: graduated from "i can make website" to "excel support" to "windows troubleshooting" to eventually "powershell" and "put it in my card reader and used Win32DiskImager to take a full clone of the card."

trinque: after several threads with mircea_popescu re: language I look for that kind of thing everywhere

mircea_popescu: "I really, really like the fact that Microsoft has embraced Linux in the form of releasing Ubuntu on Windows." "Keep the operating system up to date. If Windows 10 rebooting on you is so inconvenient, you're a lost cause--the most recent update lets you defer up to a month by the way." << same source.

phf: rather than "omg, i want this to be variable sized in my next progy!!1"

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));

phf: i don't think it's masochism, it's very much in the knuthlamportdijkstra tradition of things, but yeah, typically you would ask cpu with asm if there was an overflow

phf: but i mean shift_right shifts right or left depending on bitness, or am i misreading?

phf: i take it and/or/not are bitwise in ada?

mircea_popescu: i should point out that the primary driver of all these ridiculous "products" is the utter illiteracy of the general population.

asciilifeform: mega-disappoint, i imagine.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform antbleed i gather.

mircea_popescu: records anyway, so I'm not sure if it was built around that limitation or it was a happy coincidence." << holy shit the "built around" theory really sounds pervasive dunnit ?

mircea_popescu: "The only good thing I can say about this product is that it does not create an MX record for your domain, upholding the "no MX" in the name. I've no idea why not having an MX record for your domain is a good thing, but, it doesn't create one nonetheless. The python script that runs every 15 minutes only adds A records for mail and localmail, nothing else. Interestingly, the GoDaddy API client that they use doesn't support MX

shinohai: I'll sell them as MIGs - Magical Integer Generators

mircea_popescu: the discussion went something like : "i am affraid though the name may put people off, how fixated are you" "i don't specifically care" "oh here's this website i made" "dude, why the fuck are you making websites, go talk to people".

mircea_popescu: well, can't blame him, i expect bbc-whatever actually pays to have that shit looked at.

asciilifeform: ( i offered him a review unit, and pointer to come here )

asciilifeform: i've nfi !

shinohai: I'll give him Rock Chalk instead

mircea_popescu: i guess someone should send sam an offer to make two bitcents showing us his tits ?

mircea_popescu: "Testimonials. Mr. Barrow provided the Marine Executive Association with WordPress modules that surpassed our expectations. His support, expertise and timeliness in PHP and WordPress were well worth his fees. I'd recommend him without reservation! - Will Donalson, HCI"

asciilifeform: gotta love the by-now-regular 'low effort'(tm)(r) 'i'll take a raspi and put shitinux on it and...' folx

mircea_popescu: "Freelance IT Work. I am open for freelance work. Note that I have a project minimum of $5,000 and a minimum monthly hosting and maintenance fee of $250. Anything less I can still help through one of my companies."

asciilifeform: sooo i wrote to him.

mircea_popescu: "Because the device is just a Raspberry Pi under the hood that made taking a backup really easy. I simply popped out the Micro SD card and put it in my card reader and used Win32DiskImager to take a full clone of the card." in other lulz.

asciilifeform: fwiw i read him today for first time.

mircea_popescu: i figure we can afford a test unit for some dude you read.

asciilifeform: i'ma quite willing to try tho

asciilifeform: ced I thought I'd check to see if my IP had been flagged yet and to my surprise it had already been placed on 3 blacklists!'

asciilifeform: 'This is great news, I can't send emails from my new super awesome secure email server to anyone with a Microsoft email account because they just return it. The story is pretty similar across the board with the email either being returned or put straight in the spam folder of the recipient. I tried against GMail and a few other large providers and found that not one of them made it to the inbox anywhere. After I got a few emails boun
